A new division called Xbox XP will take the lead on “film and television, consumer products, strategic partnerships, and live experiences,” with a focus “on how people experience our franchises beyond the games themselves.”
Sigh…

Wow, so, Nintendo is winning the console war by suicide? Sony jumped off the console cliff out of nowhere, and now Xbox is eating a rat poison cake for fun.
Still standing : the indie scene, the PC gaming master race, the retrogaming scene, Nintendon’t.
I hope Valve won’t die by autoerotic asphyxia. I don’t like them THAT MUCH (like, Newel is building cunt yachts instead of funding cool studios for cool new games), but they’re still on the good side of history.
We’ll still have GOG, though.
PC gaming might be standing but it’s costing an arm and a leg to do so.
At least with PC gaming it’s possible to buy an old computer or laptop and have a massive library. It’s not like we’re restricted to the current generation, I could go and play Wasteland on my modern PC with no issue if I wanted to install a couple megabytes.
Adding on this, all those old multiplayer games you think nobody plays anymore? Yeah, there’s a Discord somewhere just for people to organize play times for that game. For example, the whole arena FPS subgenre still lives on that way, all the way back to Doom and Quake. You can play that old game you love again. Maybe not the instant you try, but you can. You haven’t played for the last time if you’re willing to go look and ask around.
Also if you’ve got old hardware you can still play the new games, just at much lower settings.
If you’ve got a PS4 you can’t just play PS5 games at lower settings.
Well when I was saying older my brain was thinking decades older like 06, because I’m a Redneck with access to Linux and will see how well it works. Usually it’s surprisingly functional even if I do have to get some weird ass RAM to do mild upgrades, you’d be surprised how many things used to run on 1GB.
GOG tried to kill itself with the Nazi symbols sent in emails, that they never really apologized for. They are lucky people have short memories.
The what now?
